Hamlet - Act 3 Summary I have continued to fool King Claudius Gertrude and the rest of the royal family They still believe I am mad and this should help me to find out for sure if Claudius is indeed guilty or I have seen a devil ghost When Ophilia came to me saying she had some things to return it enraged me I told her that I had never loved her and that there are no male figures that will ever love a woman truly but that they think only of themselves and are liars Claudius has agreed to watch the play that I have so ingeniously changed to find his guilt I reminded the players in the play to act natural in their parts and not to over emphasize things Horatio has agreed to watch Claudius as the play advances and help me determine his guilt Ophilia was full of questions during the dumb-show and I had to assure her that it will be explained later The time comes when the players shall act my new parts Claudius jumps up and tells them to stop the play and turn on the lights He acts as though he is appalled and completely confirms his guilt Now I feel that I should kill my mother as she is requesting me But I shall not I shall do as my fathers spirit has told me and leave her for her conscience I went to Claudius room yet I could not bring myself to harm himnot yet Later when I went to my mothers room I killed Polonius It was not on purpose I had thought that it might be Claudius hiding behind the curtain thing Oh how I hate my mother for what she has done to me to this country and to herself I have vowed that if I do get sent to London that I shall also kill my companions
